1. Evolution® 5800 TIC
Product Specification
Because every life has a purpose...
I. Purpose
II. Type
III. Component Parts
To establish minimum standards for the MSA Evolution 5800 Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC) and Evolution 5000 Series Universal Truck-
Mounted Charging System. Evolution 5800 TICs are tools for firefighters and first response emergency personnel, used for search and
rescue, fire scene size-up, overhaul, location of victims, and advanced firefighting and first response applications.
The product shall consist of the following component parts.
TICs, kits and accessories can be purchased individually.
The thermal imaging camera covered by this specification shall be of the type incorporating a 320x240 vanadium oxide microbolometer
focal plane array sensor. Evolution 5800 Series TIC displays black and white scene representations on a 3.5" diagonal LCD display. Design is
optimized for firefighters in ergonomic design and ease of incorporation with firefighting gear. TIC features dual-handle design for easy
handoff and handling, and high-impact, heat-resistant housing to ensure that TIC will withstand rigors of firefighting environments. TIC is
further protected by a rubber bumper system to provide additional protection from extremely harsh environments. TIC shall be tested to
and comply with the following standards:
WATER/DUST INGRESS International Standard CEI, IEC 529, IP 67 Classification
DIRECT FLAME/HEAT EXPOSURE Simulated NFPA 1981-2002 Ed., NFPA 1982-1998 Ed.

> 25 minutes
WATER/DUST INGRESS: TIC shall resist dust and water and must conform to InternationalStandard CEI IEC 529;
Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures (IP Code); IP67 classification.
IMPACT/DROP: Will survive 6 ft drop at any angle with no operational defaults or physical compromise of outer housing.
VIBRATION: TIC and components housed in carrying case shall be resistant to vibration and must conform to MIL-STD-810E,
Category 3, loose cargo transport.
RFI/EMC: TIC should not interfere with standard firefighter frequency bands at power levels found in hand-held (3-5W) and vehicle-
mounted systems (~100W). Communication/electronic devices cannot affectTIC to the point where navigation is compromised
whenTIC is subjected to RF interference of 80 MHz to 1 GHz at 30V/m.TIC must meet RFI emissions and susceptibility of CE/EN.
